Starboard FOIL SURF 2020

Flotteur Starboard SURF FOIL
La Starboard Foil Surf Starlite offre une excellente expérience de vol en surfoil. Grâce à son nose très large, elle pardonnera les touchettes. Son tail est également large est permet d'avoir plus de contrôle et de stabilité lors des virages. Enfin, vous apprécierez les rails parallèles qui vous donneront beaucoup de confort. Ici dans sa construction Starlite.

SURF FOIL BOARD STARBOARD
The new Foil Surf first prototypes are a result of awesome team work within the Starboard group.
The prototypes were developed by Clinton Filen in Cape Town, then refined by Ollie O’Reilly and Svein Rasmussen
after testing in Phuket and Bali. Zane Schweitzer approved all the final master design and we are proud to offer
the cutting edge of foil surfing.
All boards have been tested with both AK and Starboard foils, varying the wing sizes and shape as well as
different mast heights, to see that the boards performs well with different foils and in a variety of surf conditions.
There were 2 initial designs;
A more traditional surf outline with pulled in narrower nose and shorter length but wider nose outline.
The testing proved the shorter wider outline was unanimously preferred in the same way as the SUP Foil board
range, no news coming from Starboard who introduce shorter stubby boards already in 1998


6’0”x21.5”: Suited for smaller less steep waves and for heaver or
less experienced riders. Suited for riders up to 95kg.
5’6”x21.5”: Versatile board, fast paddle speed yet still stable.
Suited for riders up to 85kg.
5’2”x20.25”: More responsive and easier to manoeuvre in all
types of conditions. Suited for riders up to 75kg.
4’8”x19.25”: Lowest volume option for lightweight and high skilled
riders -Zane Schweitzer’s board of choice. Suited for riders up
to 65kg.

With the Starboard Surfboard I can get the closest feeling to flying with precise control and fluid maneuverability.
Having the freedom to wrap smooth turns hands-free with minimal board under your feet really enhances the feeling
of balanced flight we should feel riding a Hydrofoil.

The range in general is surprisingly easy to paddle and to catch waves, thanks to the thicker rails and high volume of the boards. Even though initially intimidated by the short length, the boards proved to perform pretty well. The wider nose with rocker height gives you stability when touching down fast. The shorter version, specially the 5’2 and the 5’6 are more manoeuvrable and responsive when moving your gravity centre. On the other hand, the 6’0 is easier to control, while not so sensitive to lift.~ Raúl Delgado
